ethylenedioxy-l "-butyl1-9-methyl-6,7- benzomorphan In the present invention, an ethylenedioxy derivative [ll] mentioned above is converted to a desired 6,7- benzomorphun derivative [1] by hydrolyzing in the presence of an acid.

The hydrolysis of the said ethylenedioxy derivative ["1 is carried out in a suitable solvent for example, water, an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, nor isopropanol, nbutanol and the like, preferably at a temperature ranging from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent used. In this reaction employment of a catalytic amount of acid is necessary, examples of which include mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, and acetic acid and the like. The reaction is usually completed after 0.5 to 2 hours.

When 2-subslituted 6,7-benzomorphan derivative of the formula [[1 (R is an acyloxy group) is desired, the purpose is easily performed by acylating the compound of the formula [I] (R is a hydroxyl group) with an acid anhydride or an acyl halide.

The thus prepared 6,7-benzomrphan derivative [I] may be converted into its acid-addition salt by conventional procedures, e.g. treatment with an organic or inorganic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, glutamic acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, lactic acid,

glycolic acid, gluconic acid, glucaronic acid, saccharic acid, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, phthalic acid, salicylic acid, glyceric acid, anthranitic acid, cholic acid, picolinic acid, pieric acid, tropic acid, indoleacetic acid, barbituric acid, sulfamic acid, methanesulfonic acid. ethanesulfonic acid, benzene.

The compounds can be prepared for use by dissolving under sterile conditions a salt form of the compounds in water (or an equivalent amount of a nontoxic acid if the free base is used), or in a physiologically compatible aqueous medium such as saline, and stored in ampoules for use by injection.

Alternatively, the compounds can be incorporated in unit dosage 1 mg) form as tablets or capsules for oral administration either alone of in combination with suitable adjuvants such as calcium carbonate, starch, lactose, talc, magnesium stearate, gum acacia, and the like.

The following examples are representative of the methods of production of the compounds. Modifications of these procedures will be obvious to those skilled in the art and these examples are not to be construed as limiting the scope of this invention.
